Information
Juneteenth is the oldest national celebration marking the ending of slavery in the U.S. The day commemorates June 19, 1865 when Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, TX with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. We are excited to join Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, The State of South Carolina, as we celebrate this day by hearing and seeing live performances including dancing, singing, stepping, along with speakers discussing topics such as religion, education, and legislation.
